Statistical reports — the jurisdiction annual return computed from live data, with Excel/XML export
Last updated: July 30, 2026 by Steve
Statistical Reports
Statistical reports produce the formal annual (or quarterly) return your jurisdiction requires — computed straight from your live request, privacy, and complaint data rather than assembled by hand. They sit under the same Reports button as the other fixed reports; in fact, the toolbar's Reports button is described in the app as covering statistical reports and maintenance tools, underlining how central this is to what Reports is for.

What This Report Shows
- Jurisdiction-ready templates. Jurisdiction configuration packs ship ready-made statutory annual/quarterly report templates wherever the statute mandates one — including the Canadian federal ATIA/Privacy Act returns, Ontario, Québec, B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland annual reports, US FOIA, Washington JLARC, UK FOI, Scotland (quarterly), Ireland, Australia (federal and state), New Zealand, and Switzerland.
- Computed from live data. Every figure on a statistical return is populated from the same requests, exemptions, extensions, consultations, and complaint records the rest of Reports draws on — nothing is retyped from a spreadsheet.
- Custom templates. Where a jurisdiction pack doesn't cover a return you need, you can define additional statistical report templates yourself under Settings' Reporting configuration.
Using This Report
- Open a statistical report from the Reports menu like any other fixed report.
- Click Export to Excel or XML to produce the file your regulator or oversight body expects for filing.
- Because these are the templates your jurisdiction pack installed (or that an administrator defined), check with your administrator if a return you expect isn't listed — it's a configuration step, not a missing feature.
